The Netherlands is the sixth largest economy in the European Union and a global financial center. Due to its business-friendly climate and favorable tax regime, the Netherlands is an attractive location for corporate headquarters and for structuring international transactions.

In a recent case between the owner of a plot with a number of business premises, and the local residents, the Dutch Data Protection Authority (the DDPA) ruled that the owner is allowed to protect its property with camera surveillance.

After years of discussions, the General Data Protection Regulation (the GDPR), has finally been adopted and is due to come into effect 25 May 2018. The GDPR will replace the current Data Protection Directive and will be directly applicable in all EU member states.

Now the world's largest law firm, Dentons' global team builds agile, tailored solutions to meet the local, national and global needs of private and public clients of any size in more than 175 locations serving 78 countries.

Cartel damages and claims

The European Commission and the Dutch Authority for Consumers and Markets regularly fine companies for entering into cartel agreements. Civil proceedings related to the potentially adverse consequences of cartel activities are regularly initiated.

In these proceedings, deep knowledge of competition law, civil tort law, and procedural law is essential. Dentons Boekel’s highly experienced Competition and Antitrust Litigation team is made up of legal professionals from all these fields. It has been involved in almost all cartel litigation actions in the Netherlands in the past ten years, representing clients suspected or convicted of cartel conduct, as well as clients which have sustained damages as a result of cartel practices. Having regularly represented both claimants and defendants, we offer insight into both sides of a case. Our lawyers employ a practical approach, aimed at settling the dispute in an expeditious manner.
